Arrowroot cookies. The pride of Marinduqueños

in #food7 years ago (edited)

The heart of the Philippines and the most beautiful place for me is of course my beloved province, Marinduque. I’m proud to say that I grow and live there for almost 20 years. Even though the place was simple, I will still come back to the place where peace and love are still existing. If you have plans visiting this province, it is 9 to 10 hours away from Manila. This just a short introduction before I present the well-known cuisine in our province.

Arrowroot cookies are made with a root crop called "Arrowroot" or "Araro/Uraro" in Tagalog. It is just like taro and potato came from the soil. The reason why this delicacy was produced because back then we don’t have lots of flour to use. Then some Marinduqueños make a flour out of arrowroot and started using it for baking. This is how they discover that we can make food out if this root crop. In baking these cookies, you just have 3 main ingredients which are flour, sugar and butter. You can add flavors if you want.

You should really try to taste this food if you visit our province. The sweetness is not overpowering the taste of the cookies. The hard and crispy texture that melts in your mouth is so satisfying. I will definitely be proud of what we have that I’m sure anybody will like.

Thanks for dropping by.
